- EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS AND MEANING OF WORK: A RESEARCH WITH HIGHER EDUCATION PROFESSORS HÉLIO ARTHUR R. IRIGARAY LUCIA B. OLIVEIRA ELAINE S. T. BARBOSA ESTELLE M. MORIN Administración y Contabilidad Professor Meaning of work Higher education Employment relationships Nonstandard work arrangements Purpose: To explore the meaning of work, analyzing and comparing how it is experienced by workers who are subject to different employment relationships.Originality/value: The research is important because it advances in the discussion about the flexibilization of labor relations and its impact on how professionals experience and attribute meaning to their work. In addition, we found a gap in empirical research relating to the meaning of work and different types of employment relationships.Design/methodology/approach: We conducted qualitative and exploratory research with professors from the same higher education institution that work under different employment relationships. Forty-five professors participated in the study, whose reports were submitted to discourse analysis.Findings: Initially, the results reinforced the six categories proposed by Morin (2001): work that 1. generates results; 2. is intrinsically satisfactory; 3. morally acceptable; 4. source of satisfactory relationships; 5. guarantees security and autonomy, and 6. keeps the person occupied. In addition, three new categories associated with the professors' work have been identified: "work as a calling", "work as identity construction", and "work as a masochistic practice". Our results point to the complexity of maintaining professionals working side by side but under different employment relationships. Resentment, anguish, and frustration were some of the feelings that we consider to be associated with this reality, and represent a challenge to be faced by organizations. 2019 artículo científico 1518-6776 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=195460782002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1954/195460782002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1954/195460782002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1954/195460782002/195460782002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1954/195460782002/movil 10.1590/1678-6971/eRAMG190070 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1954 RAM.
